Truncating text in fields?

Scriptcase 8 Discussion
#1

Is there a way to truncate text in a field so that it doesn’t stretch out your form? For example is someone types: “This is 12345678901234567890” you could truncate it to “This is 123456…”.

Is there a way to do this within SC ?

I swear I remember you can, but seriously, I can’t find right now where to set up this. I only needed once

I want to use it for uploaded files, so that on the link in the grid it won’t stretch it out or wrap.

I understand. I don’t have a SC instance near to play, but for this situations I like to sue images for click downloading.

Thanks for the tip.

How would I go about using images to download a pdf file.

You “overwrite” the content of your field with something like "<img blablaba><a href=“pathtoyourpdf”></a></img>
